He wants to do some custom things to the gun that I would not choose to do. If I am ever able to purchase this gun, I will leave it as is, except for installation of optics.
Readers seemed to like the gun when I posted previously, so I thought this would be a good update. I haven’t seen any negative reviews of this gun anywhere.
Also, Shooting Sports USA has a review up.

I keep hearing folks complain about 1911 reliability, and frankly I’m nonplussed every time I hear it. Out of thousands and thousands of round through two 1911s, I’ve never had a single FTF/FTE. No malfunctions of any kind, and that’s without extensive cleaning (although I do lubricate them before range trips). Then again, these are high quality 1911s.
But I do enjoy listening to Ken Hackathorn and Bill Wilson discuss the history and engineering behind Browning’s design. It was a gun built around the cartridge. This is fine with me – I like the cartridge. I always have, and I shoot it better than any other.

I haven’t tried it, but I don’t think I very much like it. It seems to me that if you intend actually to use it, you’d better practice it a lot.

It’s a very long article with pros and cons on each of the many guns they tested. The Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus was the winner.

The post title is correct. That’s good shooting by both of them.
Of course, she’s shooting a very nice 223 rifle (SAKO) with a very long barrel (24″) along with a heavy bullet (80.5 grain Berger). But still, that’s good shooting and a great job of taking the 223 out that far.

Rex.
Competition is a good thing. I like the recent flurry of red dot sight designs, prism sights, LPVO, etc. If EOTech and Trijicon want to stay competitive, they’re going to have to come down a bit on prices.
But what do I know.

I love competition, and not the kind that awards every participant with a trophy. Competition makes everyone better. In the end, it’s up to the buyer.
First, Beretta 92X. This is just an unboxing.
Next, CZ Shadow 2, which seems to be quite popular among competition shooters.
BLUF: This gun is heavy, but it’s a race car and wants to run fast and has a very high capacity magazine (19 rounds).
